The Secret Society of Brides

Today's episode is co-hosted by Amira, a communication coach, speaker and founder of The Communication Expert. Around 80% of wedding-planning stress isn't the flowers or the budget — it's communication. So Georgie and Amira tackle the conversations nobody prepares you for.

They cover how to tell someone they're not a bridesmaid, what to do when a bridesmaid can't "afford" the hen do but is out every weekend, whether to accept money from family (and the one question to ask first), setting boundaries without the guilt, and the four communication styles that explain half your arguments with your partner.

A UK wedding podcast with honest, practical advice and real scripts you can actually use!

Today's episode is co-hosted by.. well.. your host, Georgie Mitchell!

In today's episode, Georgie explains what a wedding coordinator actually does and how the job differs from the venue coordinator that comes with your venue. It's the single most expensive misunderstanding in wedding planning, taken apart properly.

Along the way they get into who's responsible for what on the day, and why having one coordinator doesn't remove the need for the other...

Jeweller and diamond specialist Holly Robinson joins the episode to co-host with Georgie for part two of their conversation about engagement and wedding rings. Between them they cover how to actually care for a ring day to day, what to look for before you buy, and the everyday habits that quietly damage a setting.

It's an honest, funny look at the parts of the jewellery trade that don't usually get said out loud — from what you're really paying for to the mistakes almost everyone makes without realising.

Today's episode is co-hosted by Holly Robinson — bespoke jewellery designer, GIA diamonds specialist, and the person behind some of the most personal engagement rings in the business.

The girls break down how high street, independent and bespoke jewellers actually differ, why lab-grown and mined diamonds are chemically identical but priced worlds apart, and so much more!

Georgie is joined by her best friend (and stepsister) Hannah to co-host today, with a bride with a story you don't hear often.

Hannah opens up about calling off her Lake Como wedding after a 13-year relationship, meeting her fiancé when he came to cut down her trees, a proposal at a Hans Zimmer concert that happened on the wrong song, and why she's planning her whole wedding in just eight months.

It's honest, funny and occasionally brutal — from wedding tax and registrar myths to guest-list entitlement and creating a brand-new surname together.
